TROOPS CONCENTRATING IN PARIS.

the city. The revolutionary parties and
press are spaTing no efforts to incite the
mob to violence.

that if Ferry is elected President it will be
his duty 10 see himself safely housed in
Elysee palace. He ia confident he will be-
able to do it, although he admits it will
be no easy task. Peiletan and other Rad

meeting OF the Municipal Council on the
action if tbs Preitct of the Seine, who at
the order of the Government had the
underground passage leading from the
Hotel De Vile 10 the police barracks
cleared, and gave the keys to the Colonel
of the Republican Guard. The Prefect eX-
planned that the Government has deter
mined to insure the safety of public edi-
fees. Finally an order OF the day WAS
adopted calling on the PrefeCt to deliver
the keys to the Syndic of Council and take
no further protective measures. The
Council appointed delegation, consisting
OF Gudes, Susiui, Goulee and Roche, 10
concert measures with the Radicals for
protection of the republic against tbs
dangers which they Believe would menace
it if Ferry should be elected.

one to the effect that NJ. De Freycinet
year ago secretly entered the Roman Cath
olic Church with view to his accession to
the Presidency.
The papers condemn the message sent
by President Grevy to the Chambers yes
terday with his resignation. The RCpub-
hYue Francuise says that the attempt TO
ostracisc NJ. Ferry is really aimed at the
whole Opportunist party, who, however,
will not allow themselves to he excluded
from sharing iu the affairs of the Re-
public.
